Description

Number of History Lives

(rttMonHistoryAdminNumLives)

The maximum number of history lives to record.  A life is defined by the countdown (or transition) to zero by the rttMonCtrlOperRttLife object.  A new life is created when the same conceptual RTT control row is restarted via the transition of the rttMonCtrlOperRttLife object and its subsequent countdown.

The value of zero will shut off all history data collection.

Number of Buckets

(rttMonHistoryAdminNumBuckets)

The maximum number of history buckets to record.  When the test Type is 'pathEcho'  this value directly represents a path to a target. For all other test Types this value should be set to the number of operations to keep per lifetime.

After Number of Buckets are filled, and the oldest entries are deleted and the most recent Number of Buckets buckets are retained.

Number of Samples

(rttMonHistoryAdminNumSamples)

The maximum number of history samples to record per bucket. When the test Type is 'pathEcho' this value directly represents the number of hops along a path to a target, thus we can only support 30 hops.

For all other test Types this value will be forced to one by the agent.

Filter

(rttMonHistoryAdminFilter)

Defines a filter for adding RTT results to the history buffer:

none - no history is recorded.

all - the results of all completion times and failed completions are recorded.

overThreshold - the results of completion times over Threshold are recorded.

failures - the results of failed operations (only) are recorded.
